As long as the proper files are in the backed up folders, I suspect your theory to hold true.

It depends.

As an housing architect is crutial to have all documents in a predictable order, specially when I don't work alone. A team of architects normally work in the same large set of files, so to simplify collaboration a good file naming system is mandatory.

Or maybe split them into folders like "Receipts", "Documents", "Books", etc... But beyond that is a cliff of diminishing returns.

And tags solve that, along with smart folders for common searches.
